أصل الاسم
There are numerous and speculative theories for the origin of the name Riga:
- It is an adapted borrowing from the Livonian ringa meaning loop, referring to the ancient natural harbor formed by the tributary loop of the Daugava River.[16][17]
- It could be derived from Riege, the German name for the River Rīdzene, a former tributary of the Daugava.[18]
- Bishop Albert claimed credit from his campaign to conquer and convert the local populace, as coming from the Latin rigata ("irrigated"), symbolising an "irrigation of dry pagan souls by Christianity".[19]
However, the most reliably documented explanation is the affirmation by German historian Dionysius Fabricius (1610) that Riga's name comes from its already established role in trade:[20] "Riga nomen sortita est suum ab aedificiis vel horreis quorum a litus Dunae magna fuit copia, quas livones sua lingua Rias vocare soliti." (in لاتينية) ("Riga obtained its name from the buildings or warehouses found in great number along the banks of the Duna, which the Livs in their own language are accustomed to call Riae.").[21] The "j" in Latvian rīja hardened to a "g" in German. English geographer Richard Hakluyt (1589) corroborates this account, calling Riga Rie, as pronounced in Latvian.[22]

التأسيس
The river Daugava has been a trade route since antiquity, part of the Vikings' Dvina–Dnieper navigation route to Byzantium.[23] A sheltered natural harbor 15 km (9.3 mi) upriver from the mouth of the Daugava—the site of today's Riga—has been recorded, as Duna Urbs, as early as the 2nd century.[23] It was settled by the Livs, a Finnic tribe.
Riga began to develop as a centre of Viking trade during the early Middle Ages.[23] Riga's inhabitants occupied themselves mainly with fishing, animal husbandry, and trading, later developing crafts (in bone, wood, amber, and iron).[23]
The Livonian Chronicle of Henry testifies to Riga having long been a trading centre by the 12th century, referring to it as portus antiquus (ancient port), and describes dwellings and warehouses used to store mostly flax, and hides.[23] German traders began visiting Riga, establishing a nearby outpost in 1158.
Along with German traders the monk Meinhard of Segeberg[24] arrived to convert the Livonian pagans to Christianity. Catholic and Orthodox Christianity had already arrived in Latvia more than a century earlier, and many Latvians had been baptized.[23][24] Meinhard settled among the Livs, building a castle and church at Uexküll (now known as Ikšķile), upstream from Riga, and established his bishopric there.[24] The Livs, however, continued to practice paganism and Meinhard died in Uexküll in 1196, having failed in his mission.[25] In 1198, the Bishop Berthold arrived with a contingent of crusaders[25] and commenced a campaign of forced Christianization.[23][24] Berthold died soon afterwards and his forces were defeated.[25]
The Church mobilized to avenge this defeat. Pope Innocent III issued a bull declaring a crusade against the Livonians.[25] Bishop Albert was proclaimed Bishop of Livonia by his uncle Hartwig of Uthlede, Prince-Archbishop of Bremen and Hamburg in 1199. Albert landed in Riga in 1200[23][25] with 23 ships[26] and 500 Westphalian crusaders.[27] In 1201, he transferred the seat of the Livonian bishopric from Uexküll to Riga, extorting agreement to do this from the elders of Riga by force.[23]
Under Bishop Albert
وتأسست هذه المدينة عام 1201 ومع مرور العصور كانت ضحية عدم الاستقرار السياسي لبلاد البلطيق حيث احتلها على التوالي البولنديون(1561) والسويديون(1621) والروس(1710). وفي بداية القرن الثامن عشر عرفت ريغا بمرفئها المهم وبكونها مدينة تجارية كبرى ومن ثم في القرن التاسع عشر أصبحت تعرف أيضا بكونها مدينة صناعية. ونالت لاتفيا استقلالها في 18 نوفمبر عام 1918 غير أنه في بداية الحرب العالمية الثانية احتلها السوفييت قبل أن تصبح في يد النازيين أما في بداية الثمانينات فبدأت لاتفيا تخطو نحو الاستقلال الجديد في ظل وجود الرئيس ميخائيل گورباتشوف في الحكم في الاتحاد السوڤيتي حينها ونالت استقلالها فعليا في 21 أغسطس من عام 1991. وفي يناير من عام 1998 تم توقيع معاهدة التعاون الأمريكية-البلطيقية وكانت الولايات المتحدة تدعم انضمام دول البلطيق للمؤسسات الأوروبية ومن ضمنها منظمة حلف (الناتو). وكان لا بد للاتفيا من الانضمام الى (الناتو) والاتحاد الأوروبي للمحافظة على استقرارها الاقتصادي غير أن طريق الانضمام الى هاتين المنظومتين لم تكن سهلة اذ ان مباحثات الانضمام بدأت عام 1999 وطلب منها اجراء اصلاحات عدة كالغاء حكم الاعدام الى ان تم عام 2004 انضمام لاتفيا رسميا الى الاتحاد الأوروبي و(الناتو).[1]

وصنفت اليونسكو في عام 1997 وسط ريغا القديم ضمن التراث العالمي مما سمح وأوجب الحفاظ على معالم المدينة التاريخية كونها تمثل نوعا من الفن الفريد يشمل جميع الأساليب التاريخية من ناحية البناء وهو أمر يعود لتعدد البلدان والثقافات التي مرت في ريغا منذ عصور. والوسط القديم في ريغا مشهور بشوارعه وأزقته الضيقة وبيوته التاريخية المحافظة على معالمها حتى اليوم وفي وسط ريغا القديم يمكن رؤية أبراج وأجراس الكنائس التي تعود للقرون الوسطى. وتعرف ريغا أيضا بالفنادق الفاخرة وبمراكز التسوق وبالمطاعم والمقاهي الباهظة اضافة الى العديد من المنظمات الحكومية والمؤسسات الاقتصادية وكبرى الشركات الخاصة وأهم المصارف. ولا يزيد عدد سكان ريغا على 731 ألف نسمة ومساحتها على 307 كيلومترات مربعة وهي نسبة أقل بكثير مما كانت عليه في العام 1990 (912 ألف نسمة) وذلك بسبب رحيل نسبة كبيرة من السكان من أصل روسي عنها في حين أن عدد سكان لاتفيا التي تمتد على مساحة 64,500 كيلومتر مربع يصل الى 2.3 مليون نسمة.
Riga is the second largest city (after Vilnius) in the three Baltic states: Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia.[28][29][30] Riga is home to approximately one tenth of the three Baltic countries' combined population.[31]
Administrative divisions
- Central District (3 km2 or 1.2 sq mi)

Riga's administrative divisions consist of six administrative entities: Central, Kurzeme and Northern districts and the Latgale, Vidzeme and Zemgale suburbs. Three entities were established on 1 September 1941, and the other three were established in October 1969.[32] There are no official lower-level administrative units, but the Riga City Council Development Agency is working on a plan, which officially makes Riga consist of 58 neighbourhoods.[33] The current names were confirmed on 28 December 1990.[34]

Government
The head of the city government in Riga is the mayor, or officially the Chairman of the Riga City Council. He is assisted by one or more Vice Mayors (deputy mayors). The current mayor since October 2020 is Mārtiņš Staķis elected from Movement For!, which is a part of the Development/For!/Progressives faction, but on 24 March 2022, he left the party. The three other parties in the governing coalition each received a Vice Mayor post.
The city council is a democratically elected institution and is the final decision-making authority in the city. The Council consists of 60 members or deputies who are elected every four years. The Presidium of the Riga City Council consists of the Chairman of the Riga City Council and the representatives delegated by the political parties or party blocks elected to the City Council. From February to October 2020, the offices of the Mayor and Vice Mayors were suspended and the council itself had been dissolved and replaced by an interim administration of representatives from three governmental ministries until snap elections were held in 2020.
Demographics
With 605,800 inhabitants in 2022 as according to the Central Statistical Bureau of Latvia, Riga was the largest city in the Baltic states, though its population has decreased from just over 900,000 in 1991[9] and the population of Vilnius has just outnumbered that of Riga. Notable causes include emigration and low birth rates. According to the 2022 data, ethnic Latvians made up 47.4% of the population of Riga. Russians formed 35.7%, Belarusians 3.6%, Ukrainians 3.5%, Poles 1.7%, other ethnicities consisted 8.2%. By comparison, 63.0% of Latvia's total population was ethnically Latvian, 24.2% Russian, 3.1% Belarusian, 2.2% Ukrainian, 1.9% Polish, 1.1% are Lithuanian and the rest of other origins.
Upon the restoration of Latvia's independence in 1991, Soviet-era immigrants (and any of their offspring born before 1991) were not automatically granted Latvian citizenship because they had migrated to the territory of Latvia during the years when Latvia was part of the Soviet Union. The proportion of ethnic Latvians in Riga increased from 36.5% in 1989 to 47.4% in 2022. In contrast, the percentage of Russians fell from 47.3% to 35.7% in the same time period. In 2022 citizens of Latvia made up 79.0%, non-citizens 15.3% and citizens of other countries 5.6% of the population of Riga.

Economy
Riga is one of the key economic and financial centres of the Baltic states. Roughly half of all the jobs in Latvia are in Riga and the city generates more than 50% of Latvia's GDP as well as around half of Latvia's exports. The biggest exporters are in wood products, IT, food and beverage manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, transport and metallurgy.[42] Riga Port is one of the largest in the Baltics. It handled a record 34 million tons of cargo in 2011[43] and has potential for future growth with new port developments on Krievu Sala.[44] Tourism is also a large industry in Riga and after a slowdown during the global economic recessions of the late 2000s, grew 22% in 2011 alone.[45]
Riga was intended to become the global financial centre in the former Soviet Union. One bank, which provided high levels of secrecy for its customers, promoted itself as "We are closer than Switzerland!" (روسية: «Мы ближе, чем Швейцария!»).[46][47][48][أ] On 28 July 1995, twenty Latvian banks with assistance of persons from the Paris Stock Exchange organised the Riga Stock Exchange which was the first Latvian stock exchange in Riga.[50]

World Choir Games
Riga hosted the biannual 2014 World Choir Games from 9 to 19 July 2014 which coincided with the city being named European Capital of Culture for 2014.[55][56] The event, organised by the choral foundation, Interkultur, takes place at various host cities every two years and was originally known as the "Choir Olympics".[57] The event regularly sees over 15,000 choristers in over 300 choirs from over 60 nations compete for gold, silver and bronze medals in over 20 categories. The competition is further divided into a Champions Competition and an Open Competition to allow choirs from all backgrounds to enter.[55] Choral workshops and festivals are also witnessed in the host cities and are usually open to the public.[58]
Architecture
The radio and TV tower of Riga is the tallest structure in Latvia and the Baltic States, and one of the tallest in the European Union, reaching 368.5 m (1,209 ft). Riga centre also has many great examples of Gothic revival architecture, such as the Kalpaka Boulevard Library, and a bevy of Art Nouveau architecture, as well as a medieval old town.[59]
Art Nouveau
Riga has one of the largest collections of Art Nouveau buildings in the world, with at least 800 buildings.[59] This is due to the fact that at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, when Art Nouveau was at the height of its popularity, Riga experienced an unprecedented financial and demographic boom.[60] In the period from 1857 its population grew from 282,000 (256,200 in Riga itself and another 26,200 inhabitants beyond the city limits in the patrimonial district and military town of Ust-Dvinsk) to 472,100 in 1913.[61][62] The middle class of Riga used their acquired wealth to build imposing apartment blocks outside the former city walls. Local architects, mostly graduates of Riga Technical University, adopted current European movements and in particular Art Nouveau.[63] Between 1910 and 1913, between 300 and 500 new buildings were built each year in Riga, many of them in Art Nouveau style and most of them outside the old town.[63]

Transport
Riga, with its central geographic position and concentration of population, has always been the infrastructural hub of Latvia. Several national roads begin in Riga, and European route E22 crosses Riga from the east and west, while the Via Baltica crosses Riga from the south and north.
As a city situated by a river, Riga also has several bridges. The oldest-standing bridge is the Railway Bridge, which is also the only railroad-carrying bridge in Riga. The Stone Bridge (Akmens tilts) connects Old Riga and Pārdaugava; the Island Bridge (Salu tilts) connects Maskavas Forštate and Pārdaugava via Zaķusala; and the Shroud Bridge (Vanšu tilts) connects Old Riga and Pārdaugava via Ķīpsala. In 2008, the first stage of the new Southern Bridge (Dienvidu tilts) route across the Daugava was completed, and was opened to traffic on 17 November.[68]
The Southern Bridge was the biggest construction project in the Baltic states in 20 years, and its purpose was to reduce traffic congestion in the city centre.[69][70] Another major construction project is the planned Riga Northern transport corridor;[71] its first segment detailed project was completed in 2015.[72]
The Freeport of Riga facilitates cargo and passenger traffic by sea. Sea ferries connect Riga Passenger Terminal to Stockholm operated by Tallink.[73] Riga has one active airport that serves commercial airlines—the Riga International Airport (RIX), built in 1973. It is the primary hub of AirBaltic and a base for RyanAir.[74] Renovation and modernisation of the airport was completed in 2001, coinciding with the 800th anniversary of the city. In 2006, a new terminal extension was opened. Extension of the runway was completed in October 2008, and the airport is now able to accommodate large aircraft such as the Airbus A340, Boeing 747, 757, 767 and 777. Another terminal extension is under construction اعتبارا من 2014[تحديث].[75] The annual number of passengers has grown from 310,000 in 1993 to 4.7 million in 2014, making Riga International Airport the largest in the Baltic States. A new multi-modal hub is planned around the airport with a Rail Baltica station and airport city development planned.[76][77]
The former international airport of Riga, Spilve Airport, located 5 km (3 mi) from Riga city centre, is used for small aircraft, pilot training and recreational aviation. Riga was also home to a military air base during the Cold War—Rumbula Air Base.
Public transport in the city is provided by Rīgas Satiksme which operates a large number of trams, buses and trolleybuses on an extensive network of routes across the city. In addition, up until 2012 many private owners operated minibus services, after which the City Council established the unified transport company Rīgas mikroautobusu satiksme, establishing a monopoly over the service.
Riga International Coach Terminal provides domestic and international connections by coach.
As the population of Riga city started to approach 1 million people in the 1980s, the city became eligible (under the Soviet standards of the time) for the construction of a subway system Riga Metro, which would have been paid for by the Soviet government. However, the population decline and shortage of funding following Latvian independence put an end to this plan.
Riga is connected to the rest of Latvia by domestic trains operated by the national carrier Passenger Train, whose headquarters are in Riga. The main railway station is the Riga Central Station. It has stops for public transport along the streets Satekles iela, 13. janvāra iela Marijas iela, and Merķeļa iela. There are also international rail services to Russia and Belarus, and plans to revive passenger rail traffic with Estonia. International overnight service is with Latvia Express trains (باللاتڤية: [Latvijas Ekspresis] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)). A TEN-T project called Rail Baltica envisages building a high-speed railway line via Riga connecting Tallinn to Warsaw using standard gauge,[78] expected to be put into operation in 2024.[79] Latvian Railways (باللاتڤية: [Latvijas dzelzceļš] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help) or LDz) operates the Latvian Rail History Museum in Riga.
